Minor set-back.
LOTS to be grateful for. 💕🤝
I’ve come a LONG way and feeling triggered is normal, but navigating it and returning to a place of appreciation is key. 🔑

I know eczema is not traditionally classified as an autoimmune disease (it’s usually related to intolerances when exposed to certain triggers), but I have both eczema and psoriasis. (I usually use the term eczema because it’s what my mom said I had when I was a child and it’s a habit hehe).

Using the white moisturizer seen in the video is also a massive win ! I used to not be able to use *any* moisturizers. It felt like a chemical burn 🔥 😣.
Since I’m traveling, this is just a borrowed “band-aid” solution. I have single ingredient skin care, but only in small quantities with me. It’s amazing that I don’t have to run to the store and can use regular moisturizer to just keep my skin hydrated until i’m back home in a few days.

post shambhala debrief with mom pt 3 of 3.
theme being..awareness of self???

taking ourselves out of our day-to-day lives, I believe, helps us be more aware and forces us to notice how we react and respond to external circumstances.

The weather had me in a chokehold today, so here’s an Ayurvedic perspective.

Please note that it IS possible for someone with a Pitta Dosa to be in balance in hot & moist weather, they just may require a bit more mindfulness or effort getting there. I was especially triggered today because I was sensitive due to a crazy last few days and not enough sleep.

Festivals have been part of my identity for many many years. They are part of my health journey as well 💕

post shambhala debrief with mother (pt.1 of 3)

Shambhala is a magical place that allows me to merge and accept ALL parts of myself into the beautiful & imperfect version of who i am today. i need to talk about it to process everything 👀 🌍 💞

i keep being pushed to sharing more about my personal journey here, so this is a candid moment on what feels like my millionth “day 1”

Remember the K.I.S.S. method, everyone.
Keep it simple, stupid 😘

The tool i use the most!
A simple habit tracker is versatile and adaptable. It’s the perfect little sidekick that silently cheers you on. ☺️

This break has given me some much needed clarity about the pressure and expectation I put on myself for how my career affected my health and vice versa.

I had always used Ayurveda as a way to stay afloat with my health, but lately I have been using it to elevate my life. This way of life is all encompassing and can be so so so rewarding and fulfilling. From this space I can carry on with the role I believe I am meant to have in this world 🌍.

body. MIND. soul.

all three are interwoven and cannot be “healthy” without the others being in balance as well. They mirror each other, and neglecting the mind will ultimately affect your physical health. This happens a lot sooner than you realize (like.. immediately!)

If you haven’t made the time to feed & nourish your mind lately, this is your sign to prioritize it. Connecting with the words of an insightful author has helped me reframe and glide out of those mental grooves and patterns that feel familiar, and expand my perspective.

Building routine and taking baby steps is the way to lasting changes. My favourite way to discover new books is finding free audiobook options on Spotify (Premium).

I fixed the one thing I hated about vision boards.

I never liked how it was either hung up on the wall (it’s fallen off a few times!), or it felt like a flimsy piece of paper that I never knew what to do with.

By using cardboard that stands up on its own, I can place it where I want (like where I meditate), put it away neatly, or leave it in my yoga/office space as a ✨reminder✨.

My space is multi-functional and having my vision board constantly on display and always in one place never did it for me.

☁️I love having access to it and being able to move it
☁️I don’t always like having it up - depending on who is in my space. My vision board is personal and it’s something that I am happy to share with certain people, but not everyone! (don’t zoom in to the video😂🫶🏼)

P.S: I made this vision board about a month ago and I already have some amazing and serendipitous moments that line up with what’s on there. Let me know if this is something that you’re interested in hearing about ☺️.
